on January 15, 198'6. Section 10 of the Act requires the NRC to establish:qsw uyu gib.o procedures for expedited handling of petitions to exempt " specific radioactive g .- w f;-

waste streams from regulation. . .due to the presence of r6dionuclides in such Q, s &' l, waste streams in sufficiently low concentrations or quantities as to be below regulatory concern." These procedures must be in place by July 17, 1986. To j j

expedite the availability of the procedures, the NRC decided,to prepare a policy statement which contains detailed discussions 6f the Mi e g n ,,.. w .,

ma ee n, petitione should feUow to receive expedited action for a proposed ,

i exemption. The policy statement was published in the Federal Register on The amendments to 10 CFR Parts 2 an$30 are being made to alert a o..,CCI G e,& M .,u l a g petitioner who reggests expedited, action on Pa petition to exempt a specific ,

Because this is a rule of procedure and practice, the Commission finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), that advance notice and opportunity to

3 corrrnent are not required. Accordingly, the Commission find that because these amendments relate solely to matters of agency organization, procedure, or practice, good cause exists for omitting notice of proposed rulenaking and pLblic procedure thereon, as unnecessary, and for making the amendments 1

effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Because this revision is not a final rule requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, under 5 U.S.C. 553, the provision of 5 U.S.C. 603 requiring a regulatory flexibility analysis does not apply.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2). Therefore neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for this final rule.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This final rule contains no information collection requirements and therefore is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

LIST OF SUBJECTS Part 2: Administrative practice and procedure, Antitrust, Byproduct material, Classified information, Environmental protection, Nuclear materials, Nuclear power plants and reactors, Pencity, Sex discrimination, Source material, Special nuclear material, Waste treatment and disposal.
